Co Dublin: €2.75mHosting some great views of the Irish Sea, this roomy southside house is elegant and impressive, says Fiona Tyrrell.

A large six-bedroom family home in Rathmichael, Co Dublin has a price tag of €2.75m and is in walk-in condition.

Small Oaks, 6 Rathmichael Haven is one of eight homes in the exclusive residential enclave located off Ferndale Road, between Bray and Shankill. It is for sale by private treaty through Sherry Fitzgerald.

Built in 2000, Small Oaks was designed with family living in mind. Laid out over 435sq m (4,700sq ft) it has oodles of space for a growing family.

An impressive entrance hall has an open brick fire place and a sweeping staircase.

The hub of the house is an enormous kitchen with a six-metre vaulted ceiling, brick walls and exposed beams.

The fitted kitchen is by Dalkey Design and features solid granite worktops and double Belfast sink.

Off this is an elegant living room and a family room.

The upper level of the house is devoted to two large bedrooms with walk-in wardrobes and en suites. The main suite has great views of the Irish Sea and has its own seating area.

Four other bedrooms, all en suite, are found on the ground floor. An office has the potential to be a seventh bedroom if needed.

The layout of the house means that only one of the bedrooms is located in the "south wing" - ideal for guests or an au pair.

The finish is first class. Flooring in the main living area is either ceramic tiling or solid wood and lots of storage space has been provided.

The house is set on 0.5 of an acre and is entered via electronic gates. To the rear is a large garden laid out mostly in lawn over two levels.
